I have a Direct TV DVR, I noticed when you run through the set up functions for the DVR it asks for your zip code. I am curently stuck with the Baltimore local channels, if I was to run through the set up function and enter a Washington DC zip code would it get me access to the Washington local channels?
Don't bother rerunning setup; the locals are controlled by the card, not the reciever. The zip you enter in the reciever is only for time zones and the dish postitioning info. If you are getting the wrong locals, call DTV. But if your address with DTV is Baltimore, then that's what you're going to get.
